[Baypiggies] Seed-funded startup looking for a jack-of-all-trades lead web dev

[David Marble]

We don't plan on having a dedicated location during our seed stage. I'm
based in Palo Alto and the rest of the team is spread out at the moment (DC,
FL). We make semi-often trips to each others' city. Tech home base is here,
and it's looking like if we're successful our main office will be
peninsula-ish.
